MEMORANDUM BY THE G;.,RMAN D__"LI GATT ON
ON THEE ~P0RTOF AN AUTC)+i TIC SORTER
TO POLAND
The German authorities have received an applic:tion to license
the shipment of an
automatic sorter type A
for ceramic and foil capacitors
valued at 2.977,--%
covered by item 1530
to Poland.
The automatic sorter is destined to a plant making styroflex
foil capacitors. The sorting is made by a high voltage test O..3kV,
4 capacitance tolerances or 4 groups and power factor; capacitance
me-isuring range'. 20...20 000 pF when sorting with power factor,
1... 20 000 pF when sorting without po,~,,er factor test; measuring
frequency: 100 ke/s sorter capacity: 2 500 pieces per hour: The
maximal accuracy is 2 .
This small accuracy and the small frequency do not allow sorting
of high valued strategic capacitors, as for radar sets, portable ra-
dio transmitters or rockets (missiles). The specification of the
equipment is typical for automatic sorters for capacitors used in
t'.Le radio and television sets making industries, whereas radar- and
radio transmitters are normally tested with an accuracy bettor than
1 ;9, and for rockets (missiles) capacitors with a temperature-range
of item 1560 are needed. Styroflex foils and styroflex foil capa-
citors to be sorted by the equipment do not reach these temperature--
ranges and therefore are not covered by the embargo.
In view of the foregoing the German authorities would like to
;rant the licence. The German Delegation submit the request within
the framework of the special policy adopted towards Poland and hope
that no objections will be raised. They would be grateful to hear
the views of the Governments at an early opportunity.
